My data book might be old, but I see that there is lodging and grocery just north of the Smokies at a place called "Green Corner Road." The services are 0.2 miles west of the trail. Can anyone shed light on what's there? Thanks in advance!

A couple things worth mentioning about the information on their web page: it still lists Curtis Owen as co-owner but he passed away in early 2015; it mentions you can do your laundry there but there is no washing machine (you have to hand wash your stuff), though there is a dryer.

Thank you! I did get in touch with them but what you've shared is good info to know!
they also, in my experience, like to say on the phone that they dont take reservations for cabins, but then upon arrival, state that all the cabins have been resevred.
